I came across this poem that was reminiscent of some dohas to me at the Jodo Shu blog Japan: Life and Religion. Perhaps you'll enjoy this as I did.

It was written by a Japanese Buddhist poet named Kenji Miyazawa. Apparently he suffered from a disease called pleurisy his whole life, and was very devoted to the Lotus Sutra.

Amenimo Makezu (Unbeaten by Rain)by Kenji Miyazawa

Unbeaten by rainUnbeaten by windNeither by the snow nor the summer heatHaving a healthy bodyFreed from greedNever getting angryAlways smiling quietlyHaving four cups of brown rice a dayWith miso and a small amount of vegetablesDoing all thingsWithout calculating selfish egoSeeing, asking, and understanding these things wellAnd not forgettingIn the shadow of the pine forest in the fieldLiving in a small thatched houseIf there is a sick child in the eastGo and take care of himIf there is an exhausted mother in the westGo and carry a bunch of rice stalks for herIf there is a man near death in the southGo and tell him not to be afraidIf there is a fight and a court case in the northGo and persuade them to stop itbecause it is not worth itShedding tears on a scorching dayWalking with worry on a cool summer dayBeing called a fool by everyoneNeither to be praised,Nor to be worriedSuch a person I want to be
